Kingklip

These Kingklip are lovely big fish from the New Zealand coast. South Africans will need to be advised that it’s a slightly different species from theirs, but hey, we DEFY you to tell them apart. Kingklip has colourful red and brown skin but the flesh is pure white with flakey muscle typical of white fish such as cod or haddock. Just in case you didn’t catch the spelling, it’s kingklip, not king klip, kingclip or king clip. Also known as pink cusk eel or rosada, or in NZ, ling.
